Where it grows wild

Known from very few records near the Atlantic coast around Sidi Ifni; likely on rocky slopes and cliffs in open succulent scrub, inferred from the genus and the arid coastal setting rather than species literature.

The single usable record sits about 50 m above sea level near the coast.
